Other hit songs include Summer Candles and Dolphin Ring, both of which became standard songs played at Japanese wedding and receptions. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Anri's albums were bestsellers. She is often cited as being one the first Japanese singers to fuse Britain and American music into j-pop. She has highly successful tours—one with attendance of almost 100,000—and toured Hawaii for the first time in 1987. She was given a boost by singing the closing theme for the 1998 Winter Olympics at Nagano. In 2002, she began collaborating with jazz fusion guitarist Lee Ritenour who produced her 2002 LP "Smooth Jam - Quiet Storm".

Sunrise drivin'
あなたがいるはずの
Beachへと向かうの
遠くで走るあなたの事
じっと見つめてる
膝を抱えて座る彼女 友達なの
Baby! Shake it to the
砕け散るような気持ち
思いもよらない出来事ね
時間が消えて Broken heart
ひと握りですくった 砂の中から
欠けた貝殻が まるで私の気持ち
浜辺にあなた上がる前に
一人で帰るわ
そうよ 素直になれないの
悲しいわ
Baby! Boogie with the seawind
気づいてはいたけれど
過去の想い出も消したいの
迷わないわ Catch the wind
(We just can't stop movin')
Come on flyin' with me baby
(Dance till morning light)
Shake it till the break of dawn
(Just move your dancin'
boogie body)
We'll just sail with the wind
(Till the sun is shining bright)
Come on dance with me
Baby! Shake it to the dance
with wave
得意な技 Up soon and down
Boomを掴んだ熱い腕
もどかしいの
Baby! Shake it to the dance
with wave
砕け散るような気持ち
思いもよらない出来事ね
時が消えて Crossing up Uh... Ah
The lyrics of "Catch the Wind" by 杏里 tell the story of a weary person who is tired of playing around in the city, who longs to escape to the beach where they believe their lover should be. The person watches their lover running in the distance towards the beach and wistfully thinks about them. The main character sits on the sand, holding their knees, looking at their lover while their friend directly beside them. The song emphasizes the singer's desire to be honest with themselves and their sufferings, as they long to shake the pain off and dance their worries away. The lyrics suggest that the main character has been flaunting and failing to acknowledge their real feelings. They enjoyed the memories of the past, but they also wanted to let them go and seize the wind.
"Catch the Wind" was released by the Japanese singer Anri, known to her fans as "The Queen of Japanese Pop," on July 21, 1983. The song was the opening theme for the TBS series "Ginga TV Keiba (Galactic Racing)," a show that ran from 1984 to 1985. "Catch the Wind" is one of the singer's most recognizable songs, and it became closely tied to the program's airing, with many viewers eagerly waiting for the opening sequence so they could hear Anri's vocals. In 2008, Chinese pop singer Han Hong covered the song in her album Hong Zuan (Red Diamond).
